provision market was active through
cut. The feelir 6 WAS unsettled aud ut
lines excite d, with frequent and oCca.
sionally wide fluctuations in prices.
Buyers were anxious to take hold OF
mess pork early in the session, and the
off rings at the start vera quite lib
eral. The temper soon turned bullisb,
May delivery advancing from 8l3 70at
the opening 10 SI4 80 per barrel, fell
back to S14 90, out rallied and closed
at $l4 30 One OF the causes assigned
for the reaction was the belief that the
free offerings Of the past two or three
days had celterad in the hands Of men
who are supposed to control the bulk
of the products here. This tended to
make shorts nervous and caused them
to cover outstanding contracts very
freely. Lard closed 74@10I per 100
pounds higher, and short ribs were
273@30c per 100 pounds higher. Cash
